I'm wondering what things I could do in these strictly VFR XC's that would
help me learn/gain insight or facility with the IFR world. So far I have:

Go somewhere challenging. You can get your 50 hours with T&Gs at airports
50nm away, but if you want to learn something go on a real trip. Reserve
the plane for a whole weekend. Cross states, mountain ranges, entire
weather systems. Go to Canada and clear customs. There's plenty of
complexity in XC flight, even if the weather is VFR the whole way.
